Mozzarella, Tomato and Avocado Salad
We survived our first day on Spring Break with the kids. The drive actually went pretty good with little fighting. The kids are wiped out from lots of swimming, roller skating, eating, running and having a good time. Great day. Now they are sleeping quietly in their hotel beds, their Dad is asleep as well and now it is my quiet time. Ahhhhhh, I love this time.
I wish I had a homemade meal right now after eating junk all day. Nasty roller rink pizza, Wendy's on the way here. Ugh, I feel terrible! I ran across this salad tonight on ValSoCal and my body must be craving it because it looks REALLY GOOD and so delicious. I love Mozzarella, Tomatoes and Avocado. You could even change it up a little by adding a few things you love. I might just add some cucumbers for a little crunch.
